On January 8, Wan Feng, Yang Jianguo and Xu Bin returned to Jiangwei.

When they came back, Han Meng's convoy had not yet arrived in Jiangwei. It was estimated that they would arrive in Jiangwei around the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Wan Feng returned to Jiangwei to rest for a night. The next morning, he arrived at Nanwan Factory and went straight to find Gu Hongzhong.

"Mr. Gu! I have a task for you."

Wan Feng handed the switchboard blueprint to Gu Hongzhong: "This is a telephone switchboard blueprint. Copy it for me before March. If it can be optimized, that would be even better. If time is tight and there is no time for optimization, just copy it. If it is possible to integrate it in time, that would be the best."

Gu Hongzhong took the stack of drawings and looked through them again.

"Boss Wan! Are you planning to tinker with this thing again?"

Wan Feng smiled and shook his head. "We're already struggling with our current projects, so how can we afford to tinker with this? This is a friend I met during my trip to Shenzhen. He's in the switch business, acting as an agent for a manufacturer in Hunan and Hong Kong. But due to a business dispute, they've cut off his supply. He's at his wit's end, and by chance, he met me."

Gu Hongzhong smiled and shook his head. His boss was good in every way except for his habit of pretending to be a good person.

"I took a quick look at the blueprints. Copying them isn't a problem, and making some changes before March shouldn't be difficult either. But large-scale changes, like integrating those outdated electronic components, won't be accomplished in a month or two. It'll take at least six months."

"We can talk about large-scale improvements later. I promised them I'd show them a sample by March. This is related to the question of whether I'm a scammer."

Gu Hongzhong laughed: "Boss Wan! Have you become a liar by imitating Lei Feng? Could it be that people think you are a liar? Why are you doing this?"

Wan Feng smiled bitterly: "Gu Gong! Do you think I look like a liar?"

Gu Hongzhong looked at Wan Feng very seriously for dozens of times, then nodded solemnly: "Like!"

Wan Feng was depressed at the time, but then he became happy again.

Being treated as a liar is nothing. It won’t kill you.

Yin Zhenfei is a future giant, and it is not shameful to be treated as a liar by him. Maybe this will become an interesting topic in the future.

Gu Hongzhong is right. Integrating circuits into SOCs on a large scale is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

To make a SOC, you first need to use software on a computer to arrange tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of components, and then connect these components with wires of varying thicknesses.

Next, use the simulator to make a real circuit.

However, the circuits made on the simulator are very large and not practical. They only solve the problem of whether or not they exist.

The next step is to test the circuit to see if the lines are reasonable and whether the functions are up to standard. If not, go back to the computer to make further adjustments until the simulated circuit meets the design requirements.

It is absolutely not enough to have theory without practice. With these theoretical designs, the final stage is the practical stage, which is to send the designed circuit to the factory for testing, which is also called tape-out.

In simple terms, tape-out means turning the circuit board you designed into an actual integrated circuit chip.

Not to mention the tape-out process, even the design of this circuit cannot be completed in one or two months.

So Gu Hongzhong said that it would not be difficult to imitate this switch before March, and it would not even be difficult to redesign and simplify some circuits.

However, it is difficult to integrate the circuits in the switch on a large scale.

Fortunately, Wan Feng's first and second requirements were not high, so Gu Hongzhong planned to simplify the switch appropriately and make it.

After explaining the matter, Wan Feng felt relieved and walked out of the research building humming a little tune.

Reach out and touch my sister's face

Dark clouds flew across the sky

Reach out and touch the front of my sister's head

The sky is full and the addict is...

What song is this?

Before he could figure out what song it was, he unexpectedly saw Bai Shuqing standing outside the research building with her head held high, looking at him with one eye black and the other white.

"Hey! Whitetail, what are you doing here?"

"Our boss is furious, and you're in trouble."

After hearing what Baiweiba said, Wan Feng slapped his head. He didn't call Luan Feng or Zhang Xuan when he came back last night.

Oh my gosh! I was so happy when I came back this time that I forgot to pay my respects to the two great gods.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Hey, Tail! How about you go back and tell your boss that he didn't see me?"

Wan Feng thought it would be better to hide for the time being. According to his experience, Luan Feng might forget about this matter tomorrow.

As for Zhang Xuan, it's easy to deal with. At least Zhang Xuan doesn't curse or argue with anyone.

"I've had a poor appetite these past few days and can't eat. Our boss is the same." White Tail said this without any context.

What does it mean?

"I know! That must be a case of your stomach being starved of snacks. Ten packs of shrimp crackers will definitely cure it."

White-tailed fish love to eat shrimp strips, and Wan Feng has seen it many times.

White Tail rolled his eyes and said, "Humph! You take me for an idiot! I'm telling you my brain is working really well now, and our boss praised me for being smart."

Damn, this is too little.

"Ten packs isn't enough? How about twenty?"

White Tail curled his lips and said, "Three bags of shrimp crackers for one dollar, twenty bags for only a few dollars, you're just giving it to beggars!"

"Thirty packs!"

"Forty bags!" White Tail said firmly.

It's okay to know. I thought you were so smart.

"Deal!" Wan Feng generously took out ten yuan and put it in Baiweiba's hand.

"This money is more than enough to buy forty bags of shrimp crackers. Say a good word for me in front of your boss, okay?"

"How do you say nice things?"

"Just tell them that I heard from the people at the Nanwan factory that I'm busy with business in the Dongshan Industrial Zone and might not be back until dark."

"Okay! No problem!"

The white-tailed bird jumped and ran away.

Wan Feng looked at Bai Weiba's back and shook his head, then turned and walked towards Wen Guanghua's department. He wanted to see how the dump truck had been improved.

When Luan Feng saw Bai Weiba, Bai Weiba had just thrown a shrimp cracker into his mouth and was slurping it up while reporting, "Your General Wan said he's gone to inspect the Dongshan Industrial Zone and won't be back until dark."

Luan Feng stood up suddenly when he heard this: "This abominable villain actually dared to lie to me!"

Bai Shuqing was bewildered. What was going on? This didn't seem right! Did I say something wrong?

That’s what Mr. Wan always told me!

…

"Ahem!" Someone suddenly sneezed in Wen Guanghua's workshop, and at the same time, a bad premonition filled his heart.

How could I have such a premonition?

Just as I thought of this, the pager on my waist rang. I picked it up and looked at the caller number.

Zhang Xuan's.

Oh my god, here comes another one. Is this going to kill us?
